Hey Classic. I really like 👍 your videos and streams with Fomo and the other guys. I'm interested to learn and to do my own calibration for personal use, and perhaps in the future, I'd be able to help family and friends. What are steps to follow in other to learn the basics and what do I need to purchase ( e.g, equipment and software). Is it to technical to learn? I have 3 TVs, so I guess I can learn while I'm using my own TVs as a practice. I'd appreciate any input on this. Thank you and keep it up 💯 . Hello from Houston.
@@menacordero1 you can start with Calman home for "brand" (Sony, LG, etc) which is $145 and gives you the ability to manually calibrate any brand. Add an X-rite colorimeter for $300 and a used i1pro2 for around $400-500.
I installed your recommendations and it just took my 77 to a new level. From the time I purchased it approximately 4 months ago I operated on custom expert one settings. Thanks for keeping it simple and your expertise 👍
WOW! Now I know why you are called CLASSY! GOD Bless U for sharing your expertise with those of us, like me, that can't afford or do ourself - a FULL Calibration! I have taken me notes and now I am off to enter them and ENJOY this Wonderful TV! Michael
Hey Cecil one day in and I’m loving the settings you shared with us. Just got to say wow! There is a new Netflix docuseries ‘Animals’ that’s in 4K Dolby vision and it’s gorgeous. Truly seeing the beauty of this TV. Thx.
Amazing results. I followed your recommendations for my A80J 55” and the picture is the best ever. I did the green -1 and the blue -13. Really looks fantastic. I’ve owned this tv for a couple of years and until now I have never been satisfied that my picture was as good as other family members Samsung and LG tv’s. Haven’t had the chance to watch sports yet. Curious to see how the motion looks. Thank you.
Thank your for your video! Just got my 55" last night and this made a HUGE difference. My Only change was setting blue to -10 as I thought -15 pushed out too much redness, but I understand that is preference and possible room lighting. Thank you again!!
Hi Classy, are these settings still accurate for this model? I swear I saw you mention in another video that you actually recommend different settings from the ones in this video?
Definitely gonna try these out on my 55” A80J tonight. I’m halfway through watching, but I gotta commend you on how streamlined this video is. Also love that you tested smooth gradation with many games. Great job man.
Dolby Vision dark finally looks good! I was using the 2 point adjustment from your old video and basically had to use DV bright to keep the colors accurate. I love this.
What about IMAX enhanced picture setting Classy? Would you use the same settings you adjusted for Cinema? Saw you skipped that in the video so can you make any recommendations for that setting?
Subbed. I ended up swapping the CX for this. It looked a lot sharper in the store than the C1. Will be here on the 6th and will try these settings out.
Thanks for all the work you’ve done Classy, I’m trying out the settings on my 55 inch and it looks good so far. You’ve made my day👍🏾. Yourself, Fomo, and B Installer made the decision to buy this TV really easy and I will still watch you guys content even though I’ve already made my decision 😃
purchased a 77 a80j based on your advice and other research. these settings look great until i get it calibrated. was very nervous giving up my beloved 65" vt 60 plasma. was worried about motion handling and how 1080 content would look upscaled. pleased on both fronts. classy thank you for all your work
Warm + those colour adjustments looks great on my 55inch 😁👍🏻 less yellow and more accurate compared to expert1 I was using. Still can't get used to HDR/DV being too dark at times though especially dark scenes but then gets too bright with day scenes 🤦♂️🤦♂️ can't keep changing the brightness every time the scene changes lol.
@@attilamorvai nope that's the only negative thing I can find about it. Seems mostly related to disney plus and prime video, HDR in netflix and gaming it looks great 👍🏻
I feel like there must have been an update or my TV is very different. The warm color setting is extremely warm for me and setting it like you said just makes the TV super red and warm. The warm setting with the gains all maxed seems fairly accurate but the neutral color temperate seems best for me.
Just adjusted per these recommendations. Thanks Classy! When do you recommend turning on cinemotion out of curiosity? I see it’s off for all these settings.
Plugged in the settings on my 65A80J and will see if I like them. Been using custom picture mode with expert 1. A question for you I don’t have cable. Cut the cord a year ago. So I’m talking built in streaming apps and Apple TV. Your SDR settings for daytime and night time viewing will they still apply. Thanks for always looking out for your subscribers Cecil. Appreciate all that you do.
You are Awesome. Thank you for this!! I have my "custom" settings and I was really happy with them, but I did set up Standard, Cinema using your settings. They look great. I don't have dolby vision settings as an option. I hope you have another video with settings for the PS5. I just got one and want it to look great too.
Thank you for the great content! I just got my A80J and connect my inputs thru my denon Hdmi 3 erc/arc. When I set a picture mode it stays on that mode through all the inputs. Whether it's cable TV, Ninetendo switch...it doesn't change the picture mode. I would have to change modes manually. I was wondering if you know why this is? Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
My setup is such that i probably won't be able to connect directly to the tv. It would be via the denon. Do you reccomend any of your calibrations that can be universal for cable tv and gaming? I believe native apps keep the picture settings and don't have the issue. Only when changing from Xbox, Ninetendo, cable where the settings remain the same and don't change.
Yep, same here! Xbox series X in HDMI 4, eArc HDMI 3 to my Denon where I have my blu-ray player and Apple TV 4k connected. If I watch an HD blu-ray in ‘cinema’ but then switch to The Grand Tour on Amazon which is HDR, instead of switching to ‘custom’ where my HDR calibration is, it stays in ‘cinema’ with the HDR logo in the corner of the settings menu. Can easily enough change it to ‘custom’ but wondering if there is a way for it to auto-switch to ‘custom’ for HDR and ‘cinema’ for regular HD?
@@Ryans09G8GT I think it may be an issue with Denon. When I had a Yamaha receiver it switched, but with the Denon I have now it doesn't. It is annoying I agree. So I run all game systems to TV directly and if you don't want to switch modes for TV/movies use Custom for SDR and HDR but keep clearness off.

@@craiglyons2314 actually very well. Enjoying the color clarity and defined blacks really make everything stand off the screen better than the Z ever did. YES there are times I want a brighter picture but never enough that I want the Z back. Lov'n the OLED for sure
Thanks! I pulled the trigger after all on the Sony A80J I receive it tomorrow delivery from Cosco. I talked to someone at Cosco he showed me the add for the month of November Black Friday sale. No more discount price drop from what I seen and he told me. $3,000 is the best price for the 77” I’m just glad I finally got it. This will be my first Oled and large screen at 77” What do I have to check for the screen to make sure it’s a good panel? Hopefully I receive a good one. Thanks in advance
Just look at 4%, 5%, 10%, gray screen patterns for banding. Give it around 100 hours of content and one manual pixel refresh if needed to clean up any banding if you see it.
@@hhinojosareef1 when you get the tv go on TH-cam app and type in tv dirty screen test and play one of those videos on TH-cam. And then watch it and look for any imperfections on the screen.
Tried these on my sony 77 inch A9G and I love them. Only thing i changed is peak luminance on medium and brightness 30 for sdr content. Max brightness and high peak luminance is too bright for me.
Just found your video bro. I just purchased the 65" A80J for the bedroom. The only thing I have hooked up is the DV Roku Ultra. What setting recommendation would you say to use? Should I still copy your settings for ALL modes?? Thank you, sir!! Subscribed to your channel!!
I just got my A80J 77" installed....I've watched several of your videos and am a lil confused. is there a set it and forget it "calibration" ? I use a 4k bluray for movies and use the smart features of the tv for Netflix, Hulu, TH-camTV, etc. I just want to get the best picture possible picture w/out having it pro calibrated. Thank you in advance
Thank you for all your work, very easy to understand and brilliant! In your opinion...do I need to use Nvidea Shield pro, connected to my AVR...if Im NOT using Plex? If you still like the option, I would like to use my streaming apps through the shield and wonder what settings in the SHIELD and my 77" Sony A80J please.
I would like to ask you Classy, what do you think of Netflix Calibrated mode? I set it up and I have been enjoying, but i did not tried or settings for dolby vision yet. Your settings for dolby vision are better than netflix calibrated mode? Thank you in advance. Great content
Netflix calibrated mode is not actually calibrated as it would want you to think. It's mostly just something that has been carried over the last few years but isn't needed.
Hi Classy, these settings are for an A90J. I actually tried these settings on my X95J and even though it's not the same panel as the A90J, your settings improved my picture too. Is it OK for me to use your settings on an X95J if I don't have an A90J?
After you did Dolby Vision Bright settings, you went into some pictures (HDR) and changed the Custom setting. What source did you use to sent the TV Dolby Vision pictures?
Great channel and videos, Classy. I have a question regarding inputs. Which input do you recommend using for 4K Apple TV? I hear either #2 or #4 on the 77inch but curious if one works better than the other. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! You mention you talk about Cinemotion previously. Can you direct me to that video? Curious when/what setting to use as I notice you have it off on each preset mode in this video. Thanks👍🏼
I just got a 55in c1 last Friday for our bedroom. We watch tv shows, sports and movies, no gaming. Wondering if the a80j would of been better to purchase? Don’t get me wrong, the picture on c1 is awesome, we’re just not going to use any gaming feature on there at all. You’re thoughts are appreciated
Great content as usual. Just curious, why did go from A80J to G1 back A80J. I'm debating getting 65 A80J, 65 C1 or 65JZ1500? Would great to get thoughts.
Because I watch a lot of older content. So I have the A80J for that and a C1 for gaming now. If gaming is important than I would get the C1. We don't have the Panasonic here, but HDTV test shows them to be the most accurate out of the box. A80J is great for older content though and reality creation is nice to have.
Hey man your settings have worked great for me so far -- I noticed the brightness settings you have set here, are different then what you had posted on AVSForums -- here it is MAX for HDR and SDR, however on AVSforum 30/50 for SDR/HDR Can you comment on what you think is best?
Hey keep it Classy I had my TV calibrated by a well respected calibrator . He does the offset thing. Both Dolby vision bright and dark are going off the SDR day 20 point settings . DV bright looks great the after calibration report looks very good . Dolby dark looks good but the after calibration report isn’t as good as Dolby bright . The RGB balance is not as tight and the color errors are higher . How is my bright much more accurate then the dark according to the report ? Should Dolby dark be using SDR night 20 point ? Or is that just how the offset works ?
Is this instead of the service menu settings you shared on AVS forum? I know the other RGB settings were either or. Would it be better to reset the service menu RGB and then use this trick? Does this track close to D65? The default is too blue for me.
I just got my 77 inch today. So this is basically 4 different profiles saved to the tv to switch between depending on content right? Do you recommend the Netflix calibrated mode when watching Netflix? Also what about the in tv app vs a streaming device?
These settings really made a difference on my A80K as well. How much can I increase the brightness over 30 without disrupting the other settings? The A80K is about 10% less on brightness overall.
HOW do I set my A80J for Dolby Dark as you have it in the first part of the video and HOW do I set it for HDR? There are settings I cannot access (not able to highlight) which forces me to avoid them as I am following the steps provided here. ALSO I have my computer/ PS5 and/ entertainment plugged into HDMI plugins, WHICH access ports should I insert the correct or proper one of these selections?
I put mine on Vivid settings and reduced the brightness. Seems best setting to have realistic colors. Other settings seems to lack on colors. Is that normal?
Are you recommending these settings above those you shared in the peak brightness video on 14 June? Or should I use those settings if I want more specificity?
I'm new to this and a bit confused. When you're doing the settings for SDR and HDR, how do I get to each menu? For example, you did the settings for the game mode, which you said used both SDR and HDR, I couldn't tell how you got to each menu to make the adjustments.
Are you planning on doing a video like this for the LG C1? Also (assuming budget is ok for both), would you prefer the A80J 77 or the LG C1 83" if you could choose one and why? Does the LG C1 83" need to be calibrated? Thanks.
I have a settings video for the C1/G1 already. I would get the 83" C1 for the size of the price difference didn't matter or for most gaming situations. Otherwise the 77 A80J is the better value.
Hey Classy, I will be buying an a80j in a few days. I was wondering, for night time sdr/sports viewing, instead of constantly switching between standard and cinema, can I instead enable the light sensor on standard and let the tv adjust the brightness for me? or is the quality drop noticebly visible?
These settings *do* look fantastic, but for DV content I definitely recommend setting up both the Bright and Dark modes this way, because, depending on the movie, one can look better than the other. He says Dark is technically more accurate, but on some movies it drains out an excessive amount of color. For example, Last Night in Soho *definitely* looks better on Bright mode (flip back and forth between Bright and Dark on the scene where she comes out of the tunnel and sees the Thunderball poster and you'll see what I mean), whereas Nobody looks better on Dark mode (weirdly, Nobody actually gets darker when you watch it on Bright).
Some films I watch in gradient prefer and others on bright(John Wick)but I always leave DV in bright. On DV bright I have black level at 48 when brightness is preferred. On gradient I leave at 50. Is film dependent for me.
@@vb8428 In certain films no(small number), and I go to gradient mode instead. The majority is inky black. Did you go to basic color mode and put the color settings to warm and RGB basic to -3 Red and -15 Green gain? That setting did massive wonders
Just got my A80J 65” tonight. I would have never guessed that setting it to “warm” would actually cool it down. However I found that warm setting could vary per app. Not sure how that works.
Hey Classy, greetings from germany, thanks for your effort you put into these videos! I have some nooby questions regarding the different picture-setting-videos you made for the A80J. As a new owner of an 65' model, which of this videos is the one I "need"? Its very difficult for me to differentiate between them ;( A general question regarding the settings is why are you leaving Brightness to max and luminescene to high? I often hear or read that due to burn in prevention the oled panels shouldn't be pushed to their " brightness-limits"? Am i'm missing something out? I would really appreciate your help :)
Burn ins burn ins every time you look around somebody is talking about burn ins bro stay away from those burn in seekers videos. Burn ins are not an issue it’s an issue if you are trashing abusing your TV plus it can happen to any type of TV. You can use max brightness on any settings on the Sony if you could and it wouldn’t be there.
I’ve got the a80L. Although this years model, I still applied the settings. However, it seems to keep the same adjustments expert 1 etc without me changing it.
So we’re switching from expert 1 to warm and adjusting 2 points to make it look like expert 1 so that the Judd conversion isn’t done in DV dark correct? But if we don’t need any 2 point changes from expert 1 to fix white point in the first place, DV dark is fine? I’m a little confused on if DV dark is broken from the start, or only if 2 point adjustments are made to expert 1.
Thanks. I have setup my tv using these settings and it looks very good. I'd like to measure it with a colorimeter. What whitepoint did you measure against in the charts shown at the beginning? OOTB, they set it to ~d6850 right? The tiltle refers to a "fix" for DV. Is that because DV actually wants to apply an offset to D6500, vs the panel whitepoint?
Sorry to get a little "off topic", but I am looking for advice/assurance: I recently bought a new SONY 55” A80J OLED TV. The majority of content I stream (movies and TV shows) no longer displays in full screen (streamed through Google Chromecast), even when I go into fullscreen from my app on my windows laptop. My new TV won’t let me use wide screen controls in picture display (it says “feature not available”, probably because I’m not going through an HDMI connection, but just using WiFi). Is there any way I can set or control the aspect ratio of the content I stream? I know the content is dependent on the original format in which it was created. I am seriously concerned about the long term possibility of OLED “screen burnout” if I continually have to watch content with two broad black lines on the top and bottom of my display.Thanks.
Can the settings also be used with activated light sensor or is there something to consider? I do not want to change the settings every time, especially when using SDR. With HDR this has not been a problem for me, because I can easily switch to Dark or Light.
Been watching your videos for quite some time now Classy. Sincere thanks for all your guides. I'm very much a newbie to this stuff, and am about to buy a new 65" Oled (90% likely to be the A80J) to replace a a very old 50" LG 3D Plasma. Keep up the great work 👍 Norm Melbourne Australia
Hi Classy, Can you advise me for best settings for watching sport please? I'm in NZ and the best we can get from our Cable set-top box is either 720p or 1080i and everything looks pretty soft
Can you help us pick the right 4k UHD HDR Blu Ray player? The market space is a mess to research and selecting the right one is really difficult. I am not a gamer but currently use an Xbox S but am looking to upgrade (if there is a reasonably priced one) now that I have the Sony A80J OLED TV. I saw some expensive units reviewed lately but most of us can’t really afford units over $1000; really it feels like a equally matched quality 4K HDR blu ray player should be under $500. Thank you so much!
Caught a small error in the wording but doesn't effect the settings or outcome.
The 2pt gain and bias settings are tied to that source input, not the color temp selected.
Advanced 20pt settings are what is tied to the color temp selected.

@@CC3782-r9n I'm on prime watching Lord on the Pic mode, still no Dolby? It just added game and graphics. I'm Doing something wrong here!
Exciting and starting to geek out on seeing for my A80J...it's hard coming from a Z9D but loving the OLED so far
Hi Joe, I'm having an A80J delivered tomorrow to potentially replace my Z9D.
How are you finding the Z9D to OLED transition so far?
Thanks!
@@craiglyons2314 actually very well. Enjoying the color clarity and defined blacks really make everything stand off the screen better than the Z ever did. YES there are times I want a brighter picture but never enough that I want the Z back. Lov'n the OLED for sure
@@joef4845 That is just what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for the quick reply!
Thanks! I pulled the trigger after all on the Sony A80J I receive it tomorrow delivery from Cosco. I talked to someone at Cosco he showed me the add for the month of November Black Friday sale. No more discount price drop from what I seen and he told me. $3,000 is the best price for the 77” I’m just glad I finally got it. This will be my first Oled and large screen at 77” What do I have to check for the screen to make sure it’s a good panel? Hopefully I receive a good one. Thanks in advance
Just look at 4%, 5%, 10%, gray screen patterns for banding. Give it around 100 hours of content and one manual pixel refresh if needed to clean up any banding if you see it.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations where do you find these settings?
Thank you!
@@ClassyTechCalibrations Where do I check for this sorry bud I’m a noob on this type of things. Thanks
@@hhinojosareef1 when you get the tv go on TH-cam app and type in tv dirty screen test and play one of those videos on TH-cam. And then watch it and look for any imperfections on the screen.
Very helpful. Thank you!
out of the box, my 65 inch had too much red so I was kinda surprised to this this. The red on people's faces is what sticks out.
Tried these on my sony 77 inch A9G and I love them. Only thing i changed is peak luminance on medium and brightness 30 for sdr content. Max brightness and high peak luminance is too bright for me.
Just found your video bro. I just purchased the 65" A80J for the bedroom. The only thing I have hooked up is the DV Roku Ultra. What setting recommendation would you say to use? Should I still copy your settings for ALL modes??
Thank you, sir!! Subscribed to your channel!!
I just got my A80J 77" installed....I've watched several of your videos and am a lil confused. is there a set it and forget it "calibration" ? I use a 4k bluray for movies and use the smart features of the tv for Netflix, Hulu, TH-camTV, etc. I just want to get the best picture possible picture w/out having it pro calibrated. Thank you in advance
Thank you for all your work, very easy to understand and brilliant!
In your opinion...do I need to use Nvidea Shield pro, connected to my AVR...if Im NOT using Plex?
If you still like the option, I would like to use my streaming apps through the shield and wonder what settings in the SHIELD and my 77" Sony A80J please.
I would like to ask you Classy, what do you think of Netflix Calibrated mode? I set it up and I have been enjoying, but i did not tried or settings for dolby vision yet. Your settings for dolby vision are better than netflix calibrated mode? Thank you in advance. Great content
Netflix calibrated mode is not actually calibrated as it would want you to think. It's mostly just something that has been carried over the last few years but isn't needed.
I just bought A80J, But I can't change the " Auto picture mode" whenever I click on it It says"Available for HDMI input only" Please help! Thanks!
Hi Classy, these settings are for an A90J. I actually tried these settings on my X95J and even though it's not the same panel as the A90J, your settings improved my picture too. Is it OK for me to use your settings on an X95J if I don't have an A90J?
After you did Dolby Vision Bright settings, you went into some pictures (HDR) and changed the Custom setting. What source did you use to sent the TV Dolby Vision pictures?
warm + adjusted coulors would beat the stock "expert1" colour temp?
Great channel and videos, Classy. I have a question regarding inputs. Which input do you recommend using for 4K Apple TV? I hear either #2 or #4 on the 77inch but curious if one works better than the other. Thanks!
This is so helpful. How do you watch Netflix? Do you use the Netflix calibrated mode? Or did you set it up to your liking?
No, I don't use Netflix calibrated. Use custom.
Thank you so much for this video! You mention you talk about Cinemotion previously. Can you direct me to that video? Curious when/what setting to use as I notice you have it off on each preset mode in this video. Thanks👍🏼
He mentions that for high quality content cine motion on high and for lower low
I just got a 55in c1 last Friday for our bedroom. We watch tv shows, sports and movies, no gaming. Wondering if the a80j would of been better to purchase? Don’t get me wrong, the picture on c1 is awesome, we’re just not going to use any gaming feature on there at all. You’re thoughts are appreciated
Hello, just purchased the A80k and was wondering if I can apply these settings to it? I know they both pretty similar panels. Thanks !
Thank you bro very very good video ❤️❤️❤️
Great content as usual. Just curious, why did go from A80J to G1 back A80J. I'm debating getting 65 A80J, 65 C1 or 65JZ1500? Would great to get thoughts.
Because I watch a lot of older content. So I have the A80J for that and a C1 for gaming now.
If gaming is important than I would get the C1. We don't have the Panasonic here, but HDTV test shows them to be the most accurate out of the box.
A80J is great for older content though and reality creation is nice to have.
Hey man your settings have worked great for me so far -- I noticed the brightness settings you have set here, are different then what you had posted on AVSForums -- here it is MAX for HDR and SDR, however on AVSforum 30/50 for SDR/HDR
Can you comment on what you think is best?
I am usually scared to set it to MAX or high luminance, scared of burn in, I have it to medium and brightness to around 40 especially in the night.
Hey keep it Classy I had my TV calibrated by a well respected calibrator . He does the offset thing. Both Dolby vision bright and dark are going off the SDR day 20 point settings . DV bright looks great the after calibration report looks very good . Dolby dark looks good but the after calibration report isn’t as good as Dolby bright . The RGB balance is not as tight and the color errors are higher . How is my bright much more accurate then the dark according to the report ? Should Dolby dark be using SDR night 20 point ? Or is that just how the offset works ?
Is this instead of the service menu settings you shared on AVS forum? I know the other RGB settings were either or. Would it be better to reset the service menu RGB and then use this trick? Does this track close to D65? The default is too blue for me.
I just got my 77 inch today. So this is basically 4 different profiles saved to the tv to switch between depending on content right? Do you recommend the Netflix calibrated mode when watching Netflix? Also what about the in tv app vs a streaming device?
What setting would I use from this video if all I'm watching is Netflix/Prime/Disney+ via an Apple TV 4K? Just use the Dolby Dark settings?
Great stuff Classy. Will these settings work with my new a95k?
th-cam.com/video/gC2NYJ6fWHk/w-d-xo.html
These settings really made a difference on my A80K as well. How much can I increase the brightness over 30 without disrupting the other settings? The A80K is about 10% less on brightness overall.
HOW do I set my A80J for Dolby Dark as you have it in the first part of the video and HOW do I set it for HDR?
There are settings I cannot access (not able to highlight) which forces me to avoid them as I am following the steps provided here.
ALSO I have my computer/ PS5 and/ entertainment plugged into HDMI plugins, WHICH access ports should I insert the correct or proper one of these selections?
I put mine on Vivid settings and reduced the brightness. Seems best setting to have realistic colors. Other settings seems to lack on colors. Is that normal?
Are you recommending these settings above those you shared in the peak brightness video on 14 June? Or should I use those settings if I want more specificity?
Love these settings. Dark room SDR what would you use for brightness/peak luminance? I’ve been running 30/medium.
Thanks!
I'm new to this and a bit confused. When you're doing the settings for SDR and HDR, how do I get to each menu? For example, you did the settings for the game mode, which you said used both SDR and HDR, I couldn't tell how you got to each menu to make the adjustments.
Are you planning on doing a video like this for the LG C1? Also (assuming budget is ok for both), would you prefer the A80J 77 or the LG C1 83" if you could choose one and why? Does the LG C1 83" need to be calibrated? Thanks.
I have a settings video for the C1/G1 already.
I would get the 83" C1 for the size of the price difference didn't matter or for most gaming situations. Otherwise the 77 A80J is the better value.
Hey Classy, I will be buying an a80j in a few days. I was wondering, for night time sdr/sports viewing, instead of constantly switching between standard and cinema, can I instead enable the light sensor on standard and let the tv adjust the brightness for me? or is the quality drop noticebly visible?
Nice I'll give it a look later on. Ryan Masciola's test disc is pretty good
These settings *do* look fantastic, but for DV content I definitely recommend setting up both the Bright and Dark modes this way, because, depending on the movie, one can look better than the other. He says Dark is technically more accurate, but on some movies it drains out an excessive amount of color. For example, Last Night in Soho *definitely* looks better on Bright mode (flip back and forth between Bright and Dark on the scene where she comes out of the tunnel and sees the Thunderball poster and you'll see what I mean), whereas Nobody looks better on Dark mode (weirdly, Nobody actually gets darker when you watch it on Bright).
Some films I watch in gradient prefer and others on bright(John Wick)but I always leave DV in bright. On DV bright I have black level at 48 when brightness is preferred. On gradient I leave at 50. Is film dependent for me.
@@IronClawNinja Does DV Bright have deep blacks for you?
@@vb8428 In certain films no(small number), and I go to gradient mode instead. The majority is inky black. Did you go to basic color mode and put the color settings to warm and RGB basic to -3 Red and -15 Green gain? That setting did massive wonders
Just got my A80J 65” tonight. I would have never guessed that setting it to “warm” would actually cool it down. However I found that warm setting could vary per app. Not sure how that works.
Hey Classy, greetings from germany, thanks for your effort you put into these videos!
I have some nooby questions regarding the different picture-setting-videos you made for the A80J.
As a new owner of an 65' model, which of this videos is the one I "need"? Its very difficult for me to differentiate between them ;(
A general question regarding the settings is why are you leaving Brightness to max and luminescene to high? I often hear or read that due to burn in prevention the oled panels shouldn't be pushed to their " brightness-limits"? Am i'm missing something out?
I would really appreciate your help :)
Burn ins burn ins every time you look around somebody is talking about burn ins bro stay away from those burn in seekers videos. Burn ins are not an issue it’s an issue if you are trashing abusing your TV plus it can happen to any type of TV. You can use max brightness on any settings on the Sony if you could and it wouldn’t be there.
Classy, would you apply all these settings to the A80K as well?
I’ve got the a80L. Although this years model, I still applied the settings. However, it seems to keep the same adjustments expert 1 etc without me changing it.
For HDR viewing when using apps like prime or Netflix, do you prefer warm or expert1?
So we’re switching from expert 1 to warm and adjusting 2 points to make it look like expert 1 so that the Judd conversion isn’t done in DV dark correct? But if we don’t need any 2 point changes from expert 1 to fix white point in the first place, DV dark is fine? I’m a little confused on if DV dark is broken from the start, or only if 2 point adjustments are made to expert 1.
Is this better than the Professional 2 setting?
Which one do u recommend lg c2 77inch or sony old a80k 77 inch? Mix use including ps5?
I notch my gamma up to 1 on dv dark. That’s the sweet spot for me.
Hey Classy does it matter if you have had your A80J calibrated ?? Thanks for all the hard work!
If you had it calibrated don't touch it
Hi Classy
Can you let me know if you can do a video for X90K setup Calibration talk to you soon thanks Kenny
Thanks. I have setup my tv using these settings and it looks very good. I'd like to measure it with a colorimeter. What whitepoint did you measure against in the charts shown at the beginning? OOTB, they set it to ~d6850 right? The tiltle refers to a "fix" for DV. Is that because DV actually wants to apply an offset to D6500, vs the panel whitepoint?
Nice video Classy! Question, do we have to do this for each hdmi input?
Yes
77a80j here, is DV worth using now or still go with nomal hdr
Need this for the new LG C1 👍
Do these also apply to the A90J as on expert 1 custom I have a bit of green tint which is making it a little flat looking.
Good video would u do a video on how to set up the Xbox series x on the Sony a90k 42 in
Sorry to get a little "off topic", but I am looking for advice/assurance:
I recently bought a new SONY 55” A80J OLED TV. The majority of content I stream (movies and TV shows) no longer displays in full screen (streamed through Google Chromecast), even when I go into fullscreen from my app on my windows laptop. My new TV won’t let me use wide screen controls in picture display (it says “feature not available”, probably because I’m not going through an HDMI connection, but just using WiFi). Is there any way I can set or control the aspect ratio of the content I stream? I know the content is dependent on the original format in which it was created. I am seriously concerned about the long term possibility of OLED “screen burnout” if I continually have to watch content with two broad black lines on the top and bottom of my display.Thanks.
Can the settings also be used with activated light sensor or is there something to consider? I do not want to change the settings every time, especially when using SDR. With HDR this has not been a problem for me, because I can easily switch to Dark or Light.
I don’t seem to have HDR on mine. Or Dolby vision. Do I need to have a device plugged in for it to support those features?
You have to be playing Dolby Vision content for it to pop up
Been watching your videos for quite some time now Classy. Sincere thanks for all your guides. I'm very much a newbie to this stuff, and am about to buy a new 65" Oled (90% likely to be the A80J) to replace a a very old 50" LG 3D Plasma.
Keep up the great work 👍

Hi Classy, Can you advise me for best settings for watching sport please? I'm in NZ and the best we can get from our Cable set-top box is either 720p or 1080i and everything looks pretty soft
Any tips on how to game mode back?
I already have Custom for Pro 1 but can I use these settings instead on Custom without having to rest the tv to get rid of Custom for Pro 1?
Can you help us pick the right 4k UHD HDR Blu Ray player? The market space is a mess to research and selecting the right one is really difficult. I am not a gamer but currently use an Xbox S but am looking to upgrade (if there is a reasonably priced one) now that I have the Sony A80J OLED TV. I saw some expensive units reviewed lately but most of us can’t really afford units over $1000; really it feels like a equally matched quality 4K HDR blu ray player should be under $500. Thank you so much!
Do you think these settings would transfer over to the 65a90j?
